Foreword Foreword International tourist arrivals have almost quadrupled over the past 30 years and domestic tourism has also intensified in most developed and newly industrialized countries. At the same time, tourist movements have spread geographically to reach practically all countries of the globe, becoming for many of them an important economic sector in terms of income generation, foreign exchange earnings and employment creation. Awareness about sustainability issues—which referred originally to the natural environment but now also covers the social, economic and cultural spheres as well as the built environment—also developed significantly over those 30 years. Today, most governments, international development agencies, trade associations, academic institutions and non-governmental organizations acknowledge that, without sustainability, there cannot be development that generates benefits to all stakeholders, solves serious and urgent problems such as extreme poverty, and pres...

Predicated on socio-economic changes in the more developed countries, international tourism in less developed countries has become an attractive option for economic development. As international tourism continued to grow however, it became apparent that a range of negative impacts was affected. As a result, sustainable development became a focus for tourism as a development tool. There are several inherent challenges in applying the principles of sustainable development at an operational level in tourism. These include the nature of the tourism industry and product, the fragmented fashion in which critical decisions about tourism are made, and the diverse and often conflicting interests in tourism development held by a broad range of stakeholders. Sustainability under these conditions is an elusive concept and even more of a challenge to implement within the tourism system. This paper considers the pragmatic implications of operationalizing sustainable practices in tourism developme...
Annals of Tourism Research
Social and environmental impacts, responses and indicators are reviewed for the mainstream tourism sector worldwide, in five categories: population, peace, prosperity, pollution and protection. Of the 5000 relevant publications, very few attempt to evaluate the entire global tourism sector in terms which reflect global research in sustainable development. The industry is not yet close to sustainability. The main driver for improvement is regulation rather than market measures. Some tourism advocates still use political approaches to avoid environmental restrictions, and to gain access to public natural resources. Future research priorities include: the role of tourism in expansion of protected areas; improvement in environmental accounting techniques; and the effects of individual perceptions of responsibility in addressing climate change.

Este trabajo analiza la evolución del concepto de turismo sostenible, desde sus inicios, como una reacción de los académicos europeos al desarrollo turístico incontrolado en el periodo 1970- 85, que condujo a la investigación básica del turismo sostenible a finales de los años ochenta, seguido por una fase de investigación de segunda generación más proactiva y sofisticada alrededor del año 2010. Se discuten veinte tópicos de desarrollo de investigación futura. El documento concluye que el futuro del turismo sostenible radica en su implementación por parte de las empresas y los responsables políticos. Eso depende de que los académicos se involucren más con la industria y la política, lo que requiere la creación de institutos multidisciplinares y equipos de investigación internacionales. Se presentan algunos ejemplos.

Tourism and the Sustainable Development Goals - Journey to 2030
May 1, 2018.
Tourism and the Sustainable Development Goals – Journey to 2030 serves as a guide to how the tourism sector can contribute towards the implementation and achievement of the 17 SDGs. It aims to inspire governments, policymakers and tourism companies to incorporate relevant aspects of the SDGs into policy and financing frameworks as well as business operations and investments. The publication’s recommendations are based on an analysis of 64 countries’ Voluntary National Reviews (VNRs) on the SDGs – submitted to the United Nations High-level Political Forum on Sustainable Development in 2016 and 2017 – as well as eight Mainstreaming, Acceleration and Policy Support (MAPS) country roadmaps and the CSR activities of 60 global tourism companies.

2017 International Year of Sustainable Tourism for Development
The United Nations 70th General Assembly designated 2017 as the International Year of Sustainable Tourism for Development.
Throughout the year, UNWTO and the wider United Nations system worked to raise awareness of the contribution of sustainable tourism to development among public and private sector decision-makers and the public. At the same time, UNWTO took the lead to mobilize all stakeholders to work together in making tourism a catalyst for positive change.
The landmark year was celebrated within the context of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). It highlighted the importance of government policies, business practices and consumer behavior for building a more sustainable tourism sector that can contribute to the SDGs.
The #IY2017 Promoted Tourism’s Role in the Following Five Key Areas:
Inclusive and sustainable economic growth, social inclusiveness, employment and poverty reduction, resource efficiency, environmental protection and climate change, cultural values, diversity and heritage.
- Mutual understanding, peace and security.
The World Tourism Organization (UNWTO), the United Nations Specialized Agency for Tourism, was mandated to facilitate the organization and implementation of the International Year, in collaboration with governments, relevant organizations of the United Nations system, international and regional organizations and other relevant stakeholders.

With the introduction of tourism, farm operators have begun to think beyond crop development and create an intangible experience to sell at a retail price directly to the end consumer (Lynch, 1998; Fogarty & Renkow, 2002).
